Renowned SA assistant referee Zakhele Siwela wants to use the money he made at the Fifa World Cup in Qatar last year to fund a new farming business.

Siwela, alongside retired referee Victor Gomes, represented SA in Qatar and were in charge of the matches between France and Australia as well as Spain versus Japan.

“I made a little bit of money and for now, to be quite honest, I’m looking at getting myself a plot and getting myself into a little bit of farming, that’s my target,” Siwela told Sowetan.Looking back at the tournament, the 40-year-old Siwela said it was a good experience, especially to officiate in two high-profile matches.

“The next match we did was Spain and Japan. Japan is not a small team in Asia and Spain is on top of its game.Siwela said he planned to officiate at the next World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico in 2026. “The World Cup was a good experience. I think going from 2018 to 2022 at least I knew what was expected of me, and I was able to help the team because, in my team, which was Gomes and the guy from Lesotho [Souru Phatsoane], none of them had previous World Cup experience,” he said.

The land is quite expensive. Starting farming with R495k without a land might lead to money vanishing with zero benefit. I hope someone will advise him before he embarks on his dream. It will make more sense if he will use his World Cup earnings to top up into his savings.
